This is my next project. Someone at church is pregnant. I’m not sure when they are due, but I was asking them if there is something I can make for the baby. What color should I get. She mentioned blue, so here it is. I’m not sure how many items I can really get out of this yarn, I’m hoping a hat, sweater, and booties. That’s my hope, but we’ll see.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Been also very busy trying to add more things to my shop. I just completed this cute little amigurumi bunny head

And before this I was making a custom order. She wanted 10 red heart shaped coffee cozies made out of wool. It took some time, but I finally completed that. And she loved them. Woohooo!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, like I mentioned, my next projects are the baby stuff. Maybe some more bunny heads. A few more coffee cozies. When I get a chance. And some heart shaped and flower shaped pink appliques. Too much? LOL

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t know what it is about crocheting, I almost always have more than one project going at a time. Oh well. It keeps me busy. I’ll try and make sure to share my pictures with you as I finish each project. I wanted to share the picture of the coffee cozies I finished for my customer, but I was so happy just to be done with them, I forgot to take the pictures.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I can't share the pattern for the bunny head unfortunately. The owner of this pattern asks that the pattern not be shared or reproduced in any way. The item finished for the pattern, it's okay to share that or sell it or do whatever you want with it, she just doesn't want the pattern to be shared or given out.

I’m going to just any patterns that I want to share with you here on the blog. I’m not going to make a special page just for patterns. The way blogger/google has it set up, you don’t even really have any room to have a separate page just for patterns. So from now on, I’ll just post any interesting patterns, and if you want to find them, just click on the label “patterns” that’s on the side of the page. Thank You!

All I wanted to do, was post a comment on YouTube. They wanted my birthdate. I didn't want to give it. So I gave a made up date. All of a sudden, the page changes, and the words on the screen said that my blog has been removed. Then, they wanted my credit card information, and they charged me 30 cents to have my blog reinstated.
